GREETINGS FROM NEW NASA PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES DISCIPLINE SCIENTIST
Dear Colleagues,
I succeeded John Hillman as Discipline Scientist for the Planetary
Atmospheres Program in April 2003. I have previously served two terms
in this role in 1995-97 and 99-01. It is a pleasure to be again
involved in the program and to be associated with so many respected
scientists and friends. In addition to Planetary Atmospheres I have a
number of mission assignments at NASA. I look forward to the broad
involvement at the grass roots level and the synergy and energy of
being once again in the R & A program.
Sincerely,
Denis Bogan
